Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- ½ cup vegetable oil
For the Caramel Infusion:
- 1 jar caramel sauce (12.25 oz)
- One 14-ounce container of sweetened condensed milk
For Garnish:
- Chocolate sauce (drizzled over the cake)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round baking pans by either coating them with butter and dusting with flour or lining them with parchment paper to ensure the cakes release smoothly.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined. Slowly add the cooled coffee and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
- Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- After baking, take the cakes out of the oven and let them sit in their pans for ten minutes. Then, carefully transfer each cake onto a cooling rack to allow them to cool completely.
- Infuse the Cake with Caramel:
- Once the cakes have cooled, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the surface of each layer. This will allow the caramel mixture to seep into the cake, making it moist and flavorful.
- In a bowl, combine the caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk until well mixed. Pour half of this mixture over the first cake layer, spreading it evenly. Place the second layer on top and pour the remaining caramel mixture over it.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Drizzle the top of the cake with chocolate sauce, allowing it to cascade down the sides for an elegant look. You can also add additional garnishes such as whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or more caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together before serving. This cake is best enjoyed slightly chilled.
